Maggy and Hazel #5

"All of the above", Leo sighed lightly.

"Why am I more enthusiastic, when I didn't even see the show, or even know the plot?" Jasmine asked.

Leo shrugged, completely 'whatever' about the whole thing.

Jasmine sighed, "Leo, what's up?" She asked.

"The ceiling"Leo answered.

"Ah y'bastard" Jasmine mumbled, "What's a matter?" She rephrased her question.

"What isn't", Leo asked looking at her.

Jasmine sighed lightly, "But why are you down? You have your dream job in America, you have friends over there and you will be able to get amazing roles in plays"

"There's a piece missing still", Leo said.

"What piece is that?" Jasmine asked, curiously.

Leo looked at hercfor a while before looking away and shrugging.

Jasmine continued looking at him, "How do you know its missing if you don't know what it is?" She asked.

"It feels empty", Leo said sharpy.

Jasmine looked at him for a second, "I know what you mean" She said, looking at hermug of tea.

"You do?"Leo raised an eyebrow.

"In a way" Jasmine mumbled, swirling the tea in the cup.

"Then try to explain it", Leo said.

"I don't know, really. It's like, a hollow feeling?" Jasmine said, unsure.

"Yeah, but is there any way you can fill it?"Leo asked.

Jasmine's gaze flickered on Leo for second, again, but moved it away. "Again, I don't know" She said.

"Wonderful", Leo noticed sipping his tea.

"Mhm." Jasmine hummed, "Where are you staying? Like hotel wise?"

"At my parents? Didn't think it through..." Leo shrugged.

"You can stay here, if you'd like, its still partly your house" Jasmine said, looking over at him .

"That'd be great", Leo said, though he felt like a stranger.
